Spotted - V8EOL

[boosty]

Yesterday evening on the roundabout at Milton, just before some dappy bint pulled out onto the roundabout in front of me causing me to lock up. I was heading the scenic route home so was turning right from Milton Road onto the A14 Eastbound in the Westie.

I thought you were definitely going to put a dent in their bumper... that was mighty close!

Are you local?

Based in Ely, work opposite the science park in Cambridge.

It wasn't nearly as close as it could have been, I'm used enough to people not noticing me that I'm rather more aware of potential dangers than most drivers. In this case I'd clocked her car moving behind the nearer queue of cars as she approached the roundabout, so it wasn't an immense suprise to me to see her pulling out. In this case she hadn't seen me at all, FFS the front of the car is bright yellow and my headlights were blazing, but people also see me then pull out anyway. It's just the same thing that bikers complain about, car drivers look for other cars on the road, if it doesn't look like their mental image of a "car" then it can't be there. The locking up was real enough but once I'd scrubed off some speed I eased off so as to ram home the point that she really, really might like to consider thinking about possibly looking before pulling out in future.

Yeah sorry I didn't catch it.

Morrisons is my local shop so I go there quite regularly. Next time give us a wave!
